A Louisiana grand jury on Thursday returned an indictment on second-degree murder against two marshals involved in the deadly shooting of a 6-year-old boy in Marksville last month, prosecutors said.

Norris Greenhouse Jr., 23, and Derrick Stafford, 32, are charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder for their alleged roles in the Nov. 3 shooting that killed Jeremy Mardis.

Police have said the shooting occurred at the conclusion of some sort of pursuit as the marshals fired into a car driven by the boy's father, Chris Few, who was wounded.

Body camera video that captured the shooting led to the arrests, police said. Louisiana State Police superintendent Col. Michael Edmonson called the video "extremely disturbing."

1. One of them had been texting the girlfriend of the now dead fella, and then lied

about serving a warrant.

This may have been nothing more than an assassination attempt, so he could date her.

To Serve and Protect.

3. No, he didn't die.

He was hurt really bad, though. Honestly, from what I hear, his survival is nothing less than a miracle.
But these two criminals were trying to assassinate him, and killed the child instead.
